Abarth 500 @ 225 km/h (140 mp/h)
Last sunday I made a quick ride back on the motorway, driving four minutes at full power with my Abarth 500, getting a real speed of 225,4 km/h (140 mp/h). The speedometer of the Abarth goes ahead too much at higher speeds, so using the GPS is the best and most precise option for getting the true speed. That´s the way I did it. 
Watch the quick ride on YouTube

Welcome from me too.
I like the video, specially racing towards the full moon.

Cool that you video'd the drive I got mine to just under 140mph but then lost confidence as I thought the police might be around and I would be screwed if I was caught 
Did you have your sport mode on when you did this?

Hey Kertallica! Yes, the sport mode was turned on. The motorway went slightly downhill. The air temperature was 14 °C / 57 °F. :-)

Re: Abarth 500 @ 225 km/h (140 mp/h)
I can't remember what the temperature was when I drove... I think around the same as it was quite a few months ago. I could imagine it would take longer to get there without the sport mode on
